lol That's funny right there! As for the OP, I'm always curious as to how people jump to these conclusions of whose "haunting" their properties... There's a few parts here that confuse me. The article says:

"Freelance writer Mr Bonner, 64, said: 'Some years ago we had a single chap living in there and he rang up one day convinced he had seen the ghost of the captain.'He had been at sea himself and said he was in bed when he saw him drift across the room. 'The ghost wasn’t in a naval uniform or anything but he was certain he had seen him."

So the "Chap" who was living in the home was at SEA and saw the Ghost? This apparition wasn't even seen in the house then? How would you correlate that then to the house? As it's been said here already, just another publicity stunt to try and conjure more money for their house. Simple fact.
